Hello! My name is Tom Cravens and I hope that you
are finding this web site interesting.
World War II AT-6 at Marco Airport
In June of 2000 I retired from teaching (33 years 1967 to 2000) at Meramec College in St. Louis, Missouri so that I could move to Pelican Bay Florida. I am currently a Professor Emeritus of Sociology and Anthropology at Meramec College.
Since
I
retired
and
moved
to Florida I have had the time to follow some of my other
interest. I like to walk on the beach and berm (4 to
6 miles) every day. I am interested in the internet and I have
put together several different web sites. If you would like to
visit some of my other web sites I have put links to some of my
other web sites lower in this page. I am also interested in
photography. I like to take photographs of nature. I am
also interested in digital still and video photography. In
2002 I quit doing film photography and currently only do
digital. When I lived in Missouri I was involved in the study
and exploration of caves. I was elected as a "Fellow" in the National Speleological Society
(NSS11735F). I am also interested in Astronomy.
Currently I am a volunteer at The
Conservancy of Southwest Florida. I was named
Volunteer of the month in July 2003 (The conservancy has over
700 volunteers). I lead Nature Walks in Pelican Bay on Wednesday
at 9:00am. from December to April. In October of 2005 I
completed the Florida
Master Naturalist course in Coastal Systems of the
University of Florida. I was the
Chairperson of the
Pelican Bay Beach Berm and Boardwalk Advisory Group.
From 2005 through 2008 I served as volunteer "Botanical Guide at
the Naples Zoo. I am
the Chairman of the Pelican Bay Ad-hoc Environmental
Committee. I serve on the Pelican Bay Member Policies & Relations
Committee. I was appointed by the
Collier County Board of Commissioners to serve as a
director on the Board of the Pelican Bay Services Division for
a
4
year
term
ending March 31 2013. In November of 2010 I was elected (38,000
votes 53%) to a 2 year term as a supervisor on the Collier County Soil and
Water Conservation District Board .
